Bristol bulk-handling terminal towers
Imported coal unloaded from ships berthed at the Royal Portbury Dock (on the west side of the Avon) travels under the river via the covered conveyor belt (pictured) to Avonmouth Docks. It's subsequently carried to these towers or silos where it's lowered into moving trains via an automatic loading facility (the orange towers to the right). It's then transported via rail to various power stations around the country, including Didcot.
